Key Product Benefits

  1. Brand-new condition — An unused replacement without the unknown mileage or wear history associated with a used take-off part.
  2. Preassembled components — The upper bracket, dust boot, bushings and attached hardware shown are already fitted to the assembly, reducing the number of separate components that must be sourced for this replacement.
  3. Installed dust protection — The accordion dust boot covers the damper-rod area and helps shield it from road dust and debris during normal use.
  4. OE-reference replacement design — Designed as a replacement with reference to OE Part Number 1044461-02-C for the stated compatible application.
  5. Either rear-side application — The same unit can be used on the rear-left or rear-right where this exact OE reference is specified, simplifying side selection.
  6. Flexible purchase quantity — Sold individually, so the buyer can order the quantity required by the inspection and repair plan. Follow the installer’s recommendation on whether one or both rear dampers should be replaced.

What this part does

The rear shock absorber is a suspension damper. It works with the vehicle’s separate rear coil spring to manage suspension movement as the wheel travels over changes in the road surface. Its function is to control repeated up-and-down motion of the suspension.

This listing replaces the rear damper assembly only. Actual ride symptoms can also be affected by springs, bushings, control arms, tires, alignment and other suspension components.

When should the rear shock be inspected?

A rear shock absorber may require inspection when the vehicle shows one or more of the following:

  • Visible fluid leakage or physical damage around the rear damper
  • Repeated bouncing at the rear after driving over bumps
  • Knocking or clunking from the rear suspension area
  • An unusually unsettled or harsh rear ride
  • Uneven tire wear that may be related to a suspension fault

These symptoms can have more than one cause. A professional inspection should identify the failed component before purchase.

Why Choose This Rear Shock Assembly?

A bare damper body or used take-off part can leave questions about missing mounting components and previous wear. This replacement is supplied brand-new with the mounted upper bracket, dust boot and bushings already fitted. That reduces the number of listed components that must be transferred or sourced separately.

Designed as a replacement with reference to OE Part Number 1044461-02-C, this assembly provides a straightforward replacement option for either rear side when the VIN/application matches. It is sold as one unit, allowing the purchase quantity to follow the actual inspection and repair plan instead of forcing a pair.

Three-step fitment check

  1. Confirm the vehicle is a Tesla Model 3 RWD within the 2018–September 2023 range.
  2. Read the OE reference on the existing rear shock absorber and match 1044461-02-C.
  3. Confirm the VIN/application before ordering.

Mandatory customer notice: Verify OE Ref. 1044461-02-C on the existing part and confirm the VIN/application before ordering. Do not order by appearance alone.

Customer FAQ

Is this a genuine Tesla part?

No. This is a brand-new third-party aftermarket replacement part designed as a replacement with reference to OE Part Number 1044461-02-C. It is not manufactured or supplied by Tesla.

Is this one rear shock absorber or a pair?

One rear shock absorber assembly is included. It is sold individually and is not a pair.

Is the coil spring included?

No. The coil spring is a separate rear suspension component and is not included.

What is the black accordion-shaped part?

It is the installed dust boot. It is not a coil spring.

Does it fit the rear-left or rear-right side?

It is suitable for either rear side where OE Ref. 1044461-02-C is specified. Match the reference on the existing part and confirm the VIN/application before ordering.

Will this automatically fix rear noise, bouncing or poor ride quality?

Not necessarily. Those symptoms can also be caused by other suspension parts, tires or alignment. Have the vehicle inspected so the failed component is identified before ordering.

No. This listing is limited to the Tesla Model 3 RWD application stated above.
